Wow! You found "The Tunnel"! I haven't seen this since I was a kid. Although I didn't know it was called the Transatlantic Tunnel. I'm going to wait until I can sit back and watch the whole works, I still remember the cool digging machines. Thanks for posting this one! Hurrah indeed
Set weeks into the future, they were fairly free with the use of video phones! Rear projection and mattes? Um.... Is that a stage effect at 20:24? Standing behind cheesecloth to represent being on television?
Since this is set in the far future of the 1940s, vidiphones aren't such a strange concept. What could keep us from having such things? It would take something on the order of a mustachioed madman to screw up our glistening streamlined future, and that's pretty unlikely, right?

I was going to add "hurrah!", but I see that David has beaten me to it. I'm still waiting for The Technicolor Time Machine to be made into a movie.

Cheesecloth? Don't knock it. It worked on Stingray.
